“New annual members to Daytrotter can select a band to designate $5 of their annual fee to,” emailed Daytrotter’s Sean Moeller. “On the purchase page, all they have to do is write the band’s name in a box (which will auto-fill the band name as they continue typing – making the process as quick and easy as possible) located right before they confirm. Bands can choose to have the money go directly to them, to a charity or use this feature to help raise money for a tour or wherever else they could use the help.”

If you’re already going to sign up for Daytrotter anyway, you might as well direct a few bucks of that towards your favorite artist. If 200 of their fans were to do so, that would total another $1,000 per year to keep them afloat.
